Countdown: Sarah Palin on the Founders, God and Government

Post by rab » Wed Apr 21, 2010 11:56 pm

This is a great segment from Countdown with Keith Olbermann the other night. Sarah Palin gave a speech to an evangelical group and said that the founders didn't intend to separate god from government. Then Olbermann shows otherwise with quotes from Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and the constitution.

Yes. The trouble is you won't hear this counter argument on FOX, which hired Palin as a political analyst. :fp:

Just because they're too stupid to know they've lost, doesn't mean they've won.

Using Jefferson as counter argument will not faze people like Palin. Republicans in Texas already don't consider him worthy of study.
